Keleta-Mae proposes that 2013 to 2016 was a pivotal period in Beyoncé's career and looks at three artistic projects that she created during that time: her self-titled debut visual album \u003cem\u003eBeyoncé\u003c\/em\u003e, her video and live performance of \"Formation,\" and her second visual album \u003cem\u003eLemonade\u003c\/em\u003e. By examining the progression of Beyoncé's career during this period, and the impact it had culturally and socially, the author demonstrates how Beyoncé brought 21st century feminism into the mainstream through layered explorations of female blackness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for scholars and students of performance in the social and political spheres, and of course fans of Beyoncé herself, this book examines the mega superstar's transition into a creator of art that engages with Black culture and Black life with increased thoughtfulness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNaila Keleta-Mae\u003c\/strong\u003e is Principal Investigator of the Black and Free research-creation project, Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Race, Gender and Performance and an Associate Professor at the University of Waterloo.
